Roto Hammer, 5.10c

(photos) Daryl Ellis established this obvious line in 1992. This route runs up and into a depression that creates a fun roof problem with huge jugs. The crux is not the roof, but rather a crimpy move about half way to the depression that requires solid finger strength. Once you edge your way up and into the depression, the overhanging jugs above are a blast to mantel. Route continues over easier ground for a bit more. Seven bolts to anchor. Stone Wall, Calico Hills, Red Rocks, January, 2009

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""
